Key legal question
Whether the 30 January 2007 non-prosecution order was validly served on the appellant.
Extracted holding
The order was validly served by postal notice; the appellant had to expect official communications and failed to arrange delivery despite knowing of the criminal proceedings.
Extracted reasoning
Under the former Geneva CPP and federal notice rules, an uncollected registered letter is deemed served on the last day of the seven-day collection period if the addressee had reason to expect service. The appellant knew of the criminal case, remained domiciled at the recorded address, and authorities did not know of any claimed eviction.
